Next time You’re out, look around your neighborhood to see if any of your neighbors have these festive flowers. Our guess is they won’t. Only the bravest, boldest, and most daring gardeners can handle a plant this spunky. With unmistakable crowns of foliage and umbels of downward-facing blooms, Imperial Fritillaries are as oddly attractive as they come. This fun variety features medium green foliage, violet stems, and scarlet red-orange blooms. These look like a tropical chandelier with gold chains sparkling from their centers.
Where do you plant such an eccentric flower? It performs well as a grouped specimen planting or as an extravagant accent.
Don’t let the crown fool you. This majestic plant may look complex, but it has pretty simple needs. It is like well-drained soil and full to partial sun. Like other bulbs, you can plant it in the fall and forget about it until it greets you in late spring with impressive blooms. And despite looking like a plant from another planet, these low-maintenance bulbs will naturalize and come back each year.
The Red Crown Imperial does have an interesting odor. Many gardeners appreciate that it helps keep pest animals away.
